Fullerton

The usual civil window for an injury or death claim arising in Fullerton is two years, as section 335.1 provides. The place of the wreck, not the drive from Canyon Crest, chooses the courthouse. For a collision in Fullerton, that is generally the Orange County Superior Court, often at the Central Justice Center at 700 Civic Center Drive West in Santa Ana.

Confirm the location on the official Orange County locations page, and confirm the branch if a notice names a different courthouse. An adjuster letter that treats the wreck as all-or-nothing is not the official California comparative-fault rule.

Ask the responding department for its official crash report, and send an SR-1 when Vehicle Code section 16000 requires it. Follow the official statute and the current court page when a short recap here is thinner than the official text.
